DPRK blames South Korea for deteriorating inter-Korean relations
2008-12-26
(Xinhua) -- The South Korean government was to be blamed for chilling the inter-Korean relations, the official KCNA news agency quoted a statement issued by a reunification organization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as saying on Thursday.

"The deteriorated inter-Korean relations are entirely attributable to the sycophancy and treachery and anti-DPRK confrontation pursued by the Lee Myung Bak group," the National Reunification Institute (NRI) said in an "indictment."

The South Korean government unilaterally stopped the tour of Mt. Kumgan, selectively restricted visits to the DPRK and imposed provocation against the system of the DPRK, all of which caused worsening relations between the two Koreas, the NRI said.

It warned that "extreme crisis will happen" if South Korea does not drop its hostile policy against the DPRK.

Relations between Pyongyang and Seoul have turned sour since February when conservative president Lee Myung Bak took office pledging to get tough with the DPRK. The DPRK has cut off all official contacts with South Korea.

#3  Again, the UNO curr estimates that under-1/2 of North Korea's civilian/general population is de facto starving, and is in immediate need for massive international assistance agz famine, and will so every year afterwards until further notice.

* "US WORLD RECESSION/DEPRESSION" i.e. PROTRACTIVE ECONOMIC CHAOS AS A PRELIMIN BASIS FOR SETTING EXTRA-MATIONAL/REGIONAL REGULATORY GOVT [OWG-NWO] = MULTI-AREA "EMERGING GROWTH BLOCS" > the sanger is, iff pre-Chaos, already at-risk states believe they are getting the short end of the stick = not getting what they believe they deserve or a "fair deal", COULD BE A CATALYST FOR WAR.

PAN-KOREAN DILEMMA AS PER PROTO-OWG "GROWTH BLOCS" > NOKOR's Regime in Pyongyang historically usually demands to be treated as an EQUAL IFF NOT SUPERIOR REGARDLESS OF ITS INTERNAL DEFECTS OR NATIONAL WEAKNESSES [read, COMMIE-SOC PLANNED ECONOMY]. THE NOKORS WILL DEMAND POWER WITHOUT MAKING ANY UNILATERAL CONCESSIONS OR REFORMS - THE LATER IS FOR SOUTH KOREA AND WEST TO MAKE, NOT NORTH KOREA. I see little to nothing to indic that Kimme + regime may change that.

#2  Unilaterally? Wasn't that tour suspension after the guards shot a tourist?

#1  Bonus point for using the word treachery; other than that, I can't give this more than a 4.5 on the Spittle Scale.
